IPL treatments are non-surgical procedures that use a broad-spectrum light to penetrate the skin on the deepest levels. This specialized treatment allows your body to produce new collagen and connective tissue, creating smooth and healthier skin. Removing the damaged tissue will leave you with more youthful looking skin. The treatment is extremely effective in treating freckles, sun spots, rosacea, age spots, acne, hyperpigmentation, and even broken blood vessels in the face. Unlike laser treatment that uses a single wavelength of light and is highly focused, IPL uses many wavelengths and is more scattered. IPL, however, penetrates down to the second layer of skin leaving the topmost layer completely untouched.

What to Expect in a Photofacial Treatment?
When you first come to Urban Radiance, our IPL treatment provider will first assess your skin and advise you on the best treatment for you. When going ahead with an IPL procedure you will be advised to avoid direct sunlight, chemical facial treatments, waxing, tanning, or any other facial procedures for two weeks prior to the treatment. On the day of the treatment, our (IPL) treatment provider will clean your face and apply a cool gel numbing agent to the areas being treated. Dark eyeglasses will be provided to protect your eyes from the light. By using an IPL wand on the skin surface, we will apply light pulses to the targeted area. The treatment is fairly painless. The whole procedure takes about 20 to 30 minutes. It usually takes more than one treatment to get the desired results and we will inform you on the next treatment depending on your individual case. We keep a gap of at least one month between treatments to let your skin heal completely each time.
IPL Post-Treatment Guidelines:
- Avoid Dermal Fillers and Botox at least 2 weeks after treatment.
- Do not use Retin-A, retinoids, or similar vitamin A compounds, harsh scrubs or exfoliating products and bleaching creams.
- Avoid picking or scratching the treated area.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure for 2 weeks.
- You may experience some mild swelling, redness, and crusting after the treatment that can last up to 5 days.
